Creating Formats for Printing

I've created a report that the output is 66 x 110 and is only one page.  When printing this report, it is defaulted to 65x132 which prints it in Landscape.
I'd like to create a format that will allow the 66x110 in Portrait and use a smaller font.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
You should use transaction SPAD -> tab Device Types -> Format Types. Then, if the format that you wish doesn't exists, you can create it.

  • Formatting for print

    I have read about using CSS for printing out your pages so
    that you dont
    have to create 2 copies of each page you want printed.. but i
    cant find how
    to actually put it to use..
    I have added the necessary code to my CSS file.
    I have changed the media type to media="print"
    and all i keep reading is that this allows you to have the
    same page
    formatted for print..
    But how exactly do i call the same page for print? do i add a
    link to the
    page saying click here to print? if so what woudl the link
    actually point
    to?
    or by just including the right code, when the end-user choses
    to click print
    within there browser that knows to display the same page
    using the
    print.css?

    The browser display will always be the same, whether you have
    a print CSS
    option or not.
    The arrangement is -
    You have one style sheet for your screen layout say
    "screenstyle.css" and
    one for your print layout say "printstyle.css"
    You ad both style sheets to your page code -
    <link href="screenstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
    type="text/css" media="screen"
    />
    <link href="printstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
    type="text/css" media="print"
    />
    When a user views your page on their screen it is laid out
    according to your
    screenstyle.css style sheet.
    When the user prints the page, the printed output is laid out
    according to
    you printsyle.css style sheet.
    Hope this helps

  • Creating collages for printing.

    Hi I'm new to Photoshop. My daughter gave me Elements 8 ages ago and I have only just downloaded it (was afraid to do so in case it pulled all my thousands of photos from my Windows Photo Pictures in their unedited form (as Picasa did to me ages ago). I have finally taken the plunge and I am now trying to get my head around the programme. The main thing I liked about Picasa was that I could create collages and manipulate the photos into different arrangements and could then print these off. I want to make some place mats with collages of my wildflower photos. Can Elements 8 create collages for printing, and can the photos  in the collages be rearranged?.

    To answer your last questions... yes and yes!
    PSE has tools for automatically creating collages. You can also manually create one by adding pictures to a blank template. In either case the pictures will appear on separate layers which you can then individually resize, rearrange, rotate, overlap, etc. You can crop them to whatever shape you like, add effects such as borders, frames, drop shadows, and add text inside or outside the pictures.
    Here is an example I created.

  • Getting correct field length when creating formats for delimited flat files

    Using Data Services 3.2 to pull in tsv and Excel source files.
    When creating a new format for each file, DS tries to intelligently set the field size for each column. However, it seems to sample only a portion of the file. The end result is that it often determines too short a length for a field.
    Is there a way to force it to scan an entire file before it sets the field length? Or alternatively, how to get it to at least throw an error instead of silently truncating my data?

    I am not aware of any way to force DS to scan the whole file, or to log a warning when it truncates.  The field sizes DS sets by using a sample of the data is only really to give you a starting point, you need to try and determine the maximum possible lengths preferably from someone who understands the source of the data or through profiling.  But the profiling method will obviously only be based on the data you have at the time of profiling, new data added to the source later could exceed the field lengths.  The way I prefer to handle this is to set all the field lengths to longer than expected, eg. varchar(999) and then use a validation transform immediately after reading the file to check for any fields that exceed the maximum allowed for the target system and send these to an error file/table.

  • Hw can I generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format for printing ie pdf

    A further question re. Printing of Graphs
    There are many similar questions but none where the answers are acceptably adiquite or two or three were the link was broken,
    "Developer exchange forums have been moved" and a pointer to the new
    site, unfort it was hard to find or guess the rest of the link.
    So here is my angle on this problem;
    So far I have tried;
    Using property node: "App.  Printing.Default Printer" to select the printer to use, then
    Using Report Functions to print controls;
    New Report, to generate a new report reference
    Set Report Orientation
    Set Report Margins
    Set Report Font
    Set Report Header Text
    Set Report Font
    Set Report Footer Text
    loop for each page
    Set Report Footer Text,     With page number
    Append Control Image to Report,      several times
    New Report Page
    Until the end of the last page
    Print Report
    Dispose Report
    Initially using existing XY-Graph controls from the front panel.  These
    are on a page of a Tab control to hide these controls while not in use
    and allow them to be hidden while generating the printout. 
    Unfortunately when this page is hidden any graph scales set to
    autoscale don't, (normally don't need to and would otherwise be a waste
    of processor time), resulting in graph plots going off scale or
    becoming a line along the axis.
    An issue is that what is printed appears to be read from the screen, so resolution is much
    lower than required for for printing, resulting in rather pixellated
    printed versions. These prints will usually be emailed, so tried the
    pdf995 "printer driver" but the resulting pdf file size is rather large.
     Currently trying Plot-XY on a much larger picture so as to get
    adequate resolution for printing, however suspect this will result in
    much larger pdf files and probably cause other problems. 
    The preferred solution in this case will probably be to generate print
    output, instead of based on raster images (ie jpg or png), but on a
    vector format, maybe via postscript or directly in pdf format.
    Similar graphs currently printed from Excel via pdf995
    (or OpenOffice) result in files around 20 kb per page. these can be printed at any size
    (at least upto 64 times) without becoming pixellated, so assume these
    are vector based.
    Currently a page with 4 XY Graph controls uses around 40 to 45 kb per
    page but resolution is poor and overcoming that may push file size up
    to 150 to 200 kb per page, and the whole job can be 50 to 100 pages.
    Are there any functions to generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format preferably in pdf or via PostScript format.
    Cheers
    Darryl

    Hi Darryl,
    I was able to reproduce the issue you were seeing, in which a report generation was taking up a large amount of space per page in a PDF utility. I found; however, using my attached VI (notice that it is set to *.png) and the CutePDF utility (free download at http://www.cutepdf.com/) I was able to get a per page size of about 10 KB. Also using the png I found that the image quality seemed to be quite high.
    Please try incorporating this solution into your application and see if it reduces your file sizes.
    Thanks and have a good evening!

  • PNG colour profiles - and this format for print

    I know it's taboo to talk about PNG for printing.
    But I can't find and I've searched the forums - there was a post made about embedding colour profiles a while ago.
    I know PNG is a RGB only format, but I'm 36.8% sure I read something about embedding either RGB or ... wait for it CMYK profiles into PNG files.
    If anyone can shed any light on this - and how about PNG for print - I've been against it for a long time - but it is a lossless format, it can carry 64 bit data.
    I know I know - but I thought I'd ask anyway - see what people think.

    You can't save a PNG with a profile out of Photoshop, but it looks like you can embed one via the image events scripts that ship with OSX (/Library/Scripts/ColorSync/embed). Unfortunately ID ignores the embedded profile and uses the document's assigned profile instead. PNGs do respond to ID's RGB profile and the RGB profile will have an effect on the CMYK separation when it happens.
    Here's ProPhoto and sRGB:
    From your ID document you can also assign a profile, which conflicts with the doc's profile, by selecting the png and choosing Image Color Settings.... So, you could assign AdobeRGB as your doc's profile and assign sRGB to all your pngs.

  • How to create labels for printing?

    Hi, I am trying to find an automated way of creating a series of labels containing different information for printing purposes...

    Pages doesn't have any automated label function. If you do a search in the Pages forum you might get answer for workarounds. Thera are more label specific programs to get on the Internet like "Labels & Addresses"

  • Export file in specified format for printing labels etc (BOnewbee question)

    Hello to all,
    has anyone experiences with generating a export file in special text-format to a directory???.
    Is ist possible to generate this file after some action in BO?? (Printing delivery form and after that generate file for printing barcodelabel in special application???)
    Sorry, but i dont have any programming experiences in BO - only in SAP R/3 with ABAP.
    Thanks in advance for your replies!

    There are a number of ways to do this.  You could use the SDK to trap an event and then automate your barcode printing from .net.  You could also use middleware (iBolt, K2, biztalk, etc) You might also write a SQL DTS job with an associated trigger to save out a text file.
    I guess the answer to your question depends on how big your company is, how spread out your IT resources are and what technical resources you have to dedicate to the project.

  • Automator-creating actions for printing

    I would like to create an automator action for printing in preview. When printing, I have several print profiles set up based on black and white, color, etc. I also send those profiles to different trays when I print to my multifunction printer. For example, I will select a page in Preview, print in color to tray 1. Then perhaps I would select 2 pages and select black and white printing to tray 2 with a double sided copy. What I would like to do is create an automator action/script or whatever that would select the appropriate print settings so I don't need to keep clicking boxes and change settings every time I need to go through a document to print. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do we create a custom format for printed contact information?

    We are trying to create a custom family directory for genealogical purposes.  Family members are individually saved as Outlook 2010 contacts with a special number field that (when parsed) designates their generation, birth order,
    and relationship to parents.  The directory listing is by family and needs to indent names, addresses, emails, and other information by generation. In other words, children's names follow parent names and are indented.  Likewise, grandchildren are
    listed under their parents, but also indented from parents.
    Do we need to create a custom display form, some type of custom print template, or do we need to program a merge of some sort?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    From the description, you want to print the contacts in Outlook using a custom display form, so that you can use it to create a custom family directory, correct?
    If this is the case, I'm afraid there is no direct way to print forms as they appear on the custom display form. Outlook can only print forms with the options that are available in the Print window. While you can customize the Print Style settings using
    the various options Outlook provides in its user interface, you cannot alter the basic way that Outlook prints by using custom Print Styles.
    To work around this limitation, you can either use another program to print Outlook information, or you can download a ActiveX control or Outlook extension to create a custom form printing solution.

  • What is the best format for printing?

    Hi,
    I want to print my work. my destination is laser printer in RGB mode. I confused rather I should use Photoshop PDF or TIFF. As I understand PDF includes lots of feature that are not relevant to Photoshop. TIFF in the other hand is a simple and none compressive format that should make the job well.
    Any input will be welcome.
    S

    Not to start an argument but I'll give my opinion.  Majority of my work is portraits and weddings.  As I work on files I save as psd's.  Once I'm POSITIVE I'm finished I save as jpgs, highest quality.  Those I save to CD and external hard-drive.  In the event that I need to do additional work on one of those jpg's, at a later date, I again work it as a psd until finished.  I then save it as a tif to avoid any further degrading of that file.
    My point, right or wrong, is that I don't see any degrading of files saved once  at highest quality jpg.  That said, I never (never say never) save as a jpg twice.

  • A part of an image frame is on other page as well, it is misplacing while creating PDF for print

    I am working on a design in which there is an image frame box with outline & shadow. This box is continuing from one page to other page as well. (80% on one page & 20% on the other) When I am previrewing it in InDesign Booklet SE, it's showing perfect but when I created new document in that and look at the design that image box is coming only on one page not on the other...I am trying to break the box into two, but the problem is outline...it creates outline on all the 4 sides on both parts of the broken image frame resulting in outline in between the image, which is where the page folds. I don't know how to solve this. Will highly apppreciate any response/ideas. Thanks!

    InBooklet SE had some problems with creating new documents and frames that crossed the spine, as you've discovered.
    This MIGHT work, though: copy the image and paste in place so you have two copies on top of each other, then crop them in opposite directions to stop at the spine. I surmise you've added a stroke to the frame, so use the direct select tool to select the frame edge along the spine on each one and delete that segment. This will probably be easier to do if you put the images on separate layers so you can hide one while trying to work on the other.

  • Exporting Flash vector art for print

    I would like to export art created in Flash as a vector
    format for print. Exporting as either AI or EPS from Flash seems to
    have many limitations: no support for masks, alpha transparency, or
    editable text with fonts embedded. Has anyone found a workflow to
    create print-ready vector art using Flash?
    I have tried many combinations of Flash, Freehand, and
    Illustrator with no success. (Freehand will open SWF files, but it
    rasterizes the vector art when exporting as either EPS or PDF).
    Working in Flash Pro 8, but from the Flash CS3 documentation
    it doesn't look like there are additional options for file export.
    Is it true that any vector art exported from Flash loses font info,
    masking, and transparency?

    Has anyone found a good solution for this? I need to export character art from Flash to use for print and consumer product items. Qualtity vectors are required.
    The "best" solution I've found so far is to "Print" as either a .PDF or .PS file, then open that file in Illustrator. It expands all the gradients, and creates very complex vectors, but it's better than the standard export to .AI function, which gives offending operator "bg" errors. Still, it is a sub-par result, and I end up having to recreate art anyway.
    (I'm using Flash CS4.)
    Dear Adobe, this should be a no-brainer ... Please introduce a true vector export feature from Flash to Illustrator that generates art we can actually use.

  • Can Adobe Flash be an alternate soft for Adobe Photoshop (for PRINT)? Is it possible to use Adobe Fl

    Is it possible to use Adobe Flash instead of adobe photoshop for generating images for PRINT???
    how about the CMYK settings? Will i have an issue with that? Please I need an expert at this too.

    No. Flash would be one of the worst applications to substitute for Photoshop for creating art for print output. If you must use something other than Photoshop, you could use Illustrator, it is specifically designed to create artwork for print.
    Flash has no direct method for outputting CMYK.
